She's finally here!!!

After a long nine months our newest addition has finally arrived. I had a scheduled induction for August 1, 2008 and had to be at the hospital at 6:30 that morning. I could hardly sleep the night before because i was so nervous and excited for our baby to finally be here. We got checked in and settled into my room and Dr. Kaan induced me at about 9:00. The nurses wanted me to get up and walk around but I didn't want to do anything that might make her come faster until my mom got there. So when my mom got there I agreed to walk around. It didn't take much time before I was started to really feel the contractions. They wanted me to walk around for an hour, but we headed back to the room after only half an hour because i needed to go to the bathroom. When I came out of the bathroom my mom asked me if I was ok. I told her I felt like I was going to throw up. She said I was really white. I didn't walk anymore after that. The next little while is kinda a blurr. The next thing I remember is breathing through some really painful contractions. I got to the point where I couldn't take it any more so I told Joe I want the epidural. I got the epidural but it pretty much just took the edge off the pain. I was good for a little while but then I started having really bad back pain. The nurse came in to check me and said it's time. As they were wheeling me to the delivery room I started throwing up. The nurses were excited because they said it helps the baby come. I wasn't too excited about it though. After a few good pushes Ashlyn Marie Tolar was born at 4:02 pm.
